Happy Thursday! I hope you've had a good week so far.

The Honors and Scholarships team is currently recruiting for the JK Watson Fellowship, an amazing fellowship for first and second year students that provides three summer internships, experiences abroad, and numerous opportunities for growth and career exploration. If you have students you feel would be a good fit or can share this out with any classes, we would greatly appreciate it.

Further program details are below, and we have two upcoming information sessions.
Thanks so much for your support! If you have any questions or would like to get involved with fellowship or scholarship review, please let me know.
